DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION
2022 Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Report
A step toward our goal of building a beautifully diverse company, culture, and community.
While our coordinated DEI initiative began in 2019, our journey through the pandemic sparked deeper introspection, dialogue, learning, and rapid change. We shifted from a mid-sized, studio-based company to a remote-first national consultancy, with employees located all over the country working remotely. This change wrought a transformation in our processes, culture and identity. But perhaps more than that, we found ourselves with a different perspective, and with new and different challenges to address.
LET’S GET INTO the DETAILS
Employee representation
GENDER
The makeup of male and female Thinkers
At the time of this report, we are unable to report on gender representation beyond the binary. This is a result of the constraints of our reporting tools and platforms and is not a complete reflection of our team. As we look forward, we will strive to capture data that reflects the true identities of our team, the diversity of gender expression and experiences outside of the gender binary.

ethnicity
The many backgrounds of Thinkers
In 2022, we reevaluated many of our recruiting, hiring, and training efforts to better support our values and goals for a more diverse and equitable workforce. There is considerable opportunity for us to improve in this area in order to better reflect the community where we are headquartered (Philadelphia) and where we operate (nationally across the U.S.).
AGE

20-29 Years • 24 Thinkers
30-39 Years • 68 Thinkers

Representation
Looking ahead
We know we have a long way to go until our organization reflects the makeup of our surroundings. In 2023 we will:
- Release this report, our first public-facing DEI report that will share our progress towards greater representation. This report will be released annually, ensuring we hold ourselves accountable in continuing our efforts to measure progress and plan for more action.
- Conduct an internal DEI survey by Culture Amp, the second one for the company, in order to learn how our efforts are impacting Thinkers, and in what areas people desire more change. This effort will be revisited on a biennial basis.
